Being a journalist is 55% freaking out about not having interviews, 40% interviewees cancelling, and 5% of somehow everything magically working out 2 hours before a deadline

@TSBreakfast @talkSPORT hi! It's my brother's birthday and he listens to the show every day all day! He turns 35 and it would mean the world if you could say it (he's listening rn!) 🫶🏽

Wasted 3 hours of my life last night watching the MH370 “documentary” so you don’t have to.

Calling this a documentary would be a stretch since Netflix would rather spend 80% of its screentime on wild conspiracy theories.

Don’t get me started on Jeff Wise. Insulting.

100% agree. The amount times I was called selfish because I wanted to move out for uni by my own relatives.

Women from desi families cannot achieve their dreams in life unless they act a little selfish, stubborn, angry, disrespectful, and uncaring.

oh you’re a momma’s boy? you love your mother very much? that is so sweet & wholesome. tell me, is it because she taught you core principles & values or because she still does your laundry & cooks for you regularly while rewarding you for doing the bare minimum everyday?

a story centered around an asian family and the oscar goes to the ONE white woman in the film who had FAR less screen time and impact in the film compared to the other nominees— yeah fuck the academy

They may not all be your “personal picks,” but one thing I *do* love about this year’s acting winners quartet at the #Oscars is how they’re all actors who have been counted out - or shut out - at various points in their careers and came back against the odds to come out on top.

Hitting your kids teaches them that

• their needs don’t matter
• they’re expected to love their abusers regardless of the extent of abuse
• they need to lie in order to keep the peace
• your love for them is contingent on compliance + obedience

Essentially, you’re creating codependent people-pleasers with complex trauma who are likely to go limited- to no-contact with you as adults once they realize what they experienced wasn’t healthy or normal.

Hitting your kids is your way of avoiding actual parenting.
